I've learned pretty quickly that commuting down a certain path can probably be your only choice considering the amount of SP required so I have a question or two for some vets:
1) I want to do a logistics build, period. However my choice comes down to Calderi or Gallente, and I dont know which one I want to commit. From what I can gather the Calderi suit is more of a front line fighter than the rest, but does having one less equipment slot hurt you?
2) tying into the first, I have one character of each race and was going to put the other into Assault suits. What are pros and cons of each of those suit types? I already know the shield vs armor tradeoff but are there any other factors to consider (besides how sweet the Calderi prototype suit looks)? I know Hybrid weapons aren't implemented yet which sucks.
3) is there a possibility of taking one character down two skill paths? The sheet amount of SP required is daunting but since you can basically earn as much as you want over time I'd think its possible.
Some insight before I commit would be amazing, I'm waiting for a respect from my beta character before doing much else though he finally has enough SP to get the Calderi Logi/Assault skill. |

Go, Caldari logi, it's the best suit around. But that doesn't mean the other suits are junk, everything can have a place depeding on which tactic and weapon you are using. If you feel you're ok with 3 equipment slots, go Caldari. If you need more, I recommend the Minmatar logi, it has 4 slots. You can shield tank and it's the fastest logi suit around.
For the assault suits Caldari is a good choice if you are using a hybrid weapon (AR, Shotgun, Sniper, Plasma Cannon). If you like the laser and the scrambler rifle, go Amarr. Minmatar Assault is the fastest and good shield tanker. Sidearm bonus is good for the flaylock pistol.

Gallente is the choice if you want a great deal of versatility. The 25% fitting bonus will let you fill those four equipment slots with proto level gear. There are already several equipment modules with more on the way. This will future proof you. |

Thanks for the tips. I'm trying my hardest to enjoy the game but its really hard when I just die instantly all the time before I can even react to being shot and I lack any sort of actual team, let alone squad. I can't get anyone I know to get past the learning curve. |

Why did you rule out Minmatar and Amarr suits? |

As stated, Amarr kind of just sucks and Minmatar racial bonuses just aren't appealing to me. Being able to rush ahead and hack faster would tempt me to run and gun which is not my intention (nor what I'm good at in Dust!). I love the look of the suit though. Caldari has been doing me well now that I've gotten dual shield extenders in, I'm able to/learning how to dodge enemy fire and get back in cover to recharge. Gallente would've been the sender but with armor and repairers, and the idea of the 4 slots+high flexibility for future equipment/module adds is VERY enticing, as I'm sure in time there will be amazing Logi builds exclusive to that dropsuit.
I ended up getting Caldari to stay true to the race I picked in the first place but when I am playing games with teams who are squading up and moving g as a unit (regardless if there's mics or plans or organization), I'm finding I die much less and contribute much more.
Now if only swapping g to equipment with the mouse and keyboard wasn't so damn awkward. |

This made me think we closed beta-'vets' have it actually pretty easy;
Anybody who has been playing this game for longer than awhile has good amount of SP and was able to skill in proto-suits pretty much instantly when the first respec came. I want Minmatar logi, cool, I'll just spec into it.
Newer players really have to think about the mid-level suits and skill progression since they don't have the SP to just jump right into proto-gear.
But anyway. I was offering Minmatar because of its speed and eq-slots but it seems you went Caldari. |
